    On this again.

    If someone is offended these days why is their first instinct to sully the name of the reputation on Social Media ? I've seen the post in question on FB and from the comments it seems there is overwhelming support for "what she went through".

    At worst it was some probably bored young fellas on minimum wage acting like dicks. Does it really justify the post ?

    As usual you ramble quite a bit but you made your point eventually 😉

    Surely despite "the most horrible experience", and "feeling abused" and being "absolutely disgusted" a quiet message to management would be more appropriate ?

    it was @Red-Beard who recommended it to me. At that stage the hype was about how fucking large it was - which was true. It was an OK burger , probably better than OK given we hadn't had the explosion of 'boutique' burger places at that time but the balance was all wrong for me. Way, way too much bread. I've never had it again because it took off once FB got hold of it and yeah - queues.

    Those burgers have been getting plenty of hype in the media. A pity they weren't around when I stopped at the store a few years back. Much more remote for the average tourist though.

    @taniwharugby what's the point of a burger you can't get your gob around?

    It sounds like its quality produce but halve the size, knock 40% off the price and you'll sell more at a better margin.

    If there were no lines out the door I would have happily gone to see for myself as I love a good burger ( can recommend Ekim Burger in Welly, outstanding and SUCH good value ) but like @Catogrande there is nothing that will have me lining up for ages when there are loads of other options very nearby.

    I recall over 20 years ago thinking their burgers were noticeably better than the fare usually served up elsewhere.

    These days it's pretty standard but I guess the reputation makes it a "thing to do" for people in Queenstown.

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/360625188/sydney-socialites-alleged-drunken-destruction-ends-police-cell

    Worth sharing for a few reasons.......

    The photo cracks me up, she is DEFINITELY giving the cops the "do you know who I am?" spiel.

    She crashed into several parked cars, "including a Tesla" how is the Tesla more relevant than the others ?

    How does one become a "socialite?" be a rich, well photographed, snobby arsehole or is there more to it ?

    I assume her defence will be that she was aiming for the Tesla but accidentally hit the cars not owned by twats because she was drunk.

    I thought Reece had become a Sydney socialite for a minute there.

    Jacobs Fennell was waving away enraged diners who had rushed into the street to try to pull her out of the car.

    Diners at The Grumpy Baker.
